A £20,000 donation from Lexus has enabled the Devon Air Ambulance Trust to purchase new life-saving equipment. The money is helping to pay for a new defibrillator along with other vital equipment, for the airborne medical service strengthening its capacity to deliver emergency help across the county.

Lexus has revealed the fourth generation of its LS flagship model, the all new LS 460 at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Seventeen years on from the debut of the original LS, Lexus has crafted a luxury saloon that exemplifies its mission to deliver automotive perfection, at prices real-world motorists can afford.

With record-breaking sales in 2005, Lexus has retained its title as America's top-selling luxury brand for the sixth consecutive year. The luxury brand reported total year-end sales of 302,895 units, up 5.5 per cent over last year's record-breaking sales.

Lexus’s ultra-sophisticated SC 430 might never be considered lacking when it comes to style and equipment, but the svelte coupe-convertible benefits from a strategic series of revisions and enhancements brought in for the 2006 model year.

The launch of the all-new second generation IS range marks an important stage in the development of Lexus as a global prestige brand. The IS is well-established as Lexus’s top-selling model in Europe, acclaimed for its superb driving dynamics, refined performance, peerless quality and superb specification.

True to Lexus’s unmatched attention to detail, the IS makes substantial advances in cost of ownership benefits, setting class-leading standards and making the new car an even stronger proposition than the previous generation model.

Airbags have been a leading safety feature of every Lexus model launched since the original LS400 made its debut in 1989. Technology, engineering and design have been constantly refined since then to deliver ever more efficient and effective operation, with the new Lexus IS 250 making the latest major advance in occupant protection with the world’s first dual-chamber passenger airbag.

While other car brands are ending the year having to discount to win sales, Lexus is enjoying a strong demand for the high end derivatives of the soon to be launched IS 250.

In developing its new IS range, Lexus has pushed forward the boundaries of quality and performance in all areas. The drive to set new high standards extends to the creation of a premium audio and DVD surround sound system, unparalleled in the class.

The comprehensive renewal of the Lexus product range will reach another milestone at the Tokyo Motor Show next week with the unveiling of a new flagship saloon concept.
